Sifting through Electrical Controls Packages: How to identify needs, wants, and nice to have

On this video and on the white paper link below, learn more about PLCs, servo drives, motor control centers and emerging controls technology and trends.

Control is a good thing

The ability to control product flow on a packaging line is essential to the overall efficiency of the line. Project leaders know that they want a smooth operating, efficient packaging line, but getting to that goal means selecting the most reliable equipment and conveyors combined with a controls scheme that interfaces efficiently between packaging machines and provides the most product control. Evaluating conveyor controls can be a difficult and time consuming process in comparing and analyzing quotations, especially when the solutions vary in components and design.

Our white paper, “Control is a good thing”, discusses the scope of design, component selection, communications, Ethernet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, implementation and experience. The article also has a discussion on Trends in Conveyor Controls, written by Nercon’s electrical controls experts seeing trends in increased distributed drive systems, a rise in network drives, and a rise in Ethernet communications.
